Identify (in Power Apps) the Status of Power Automate Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

We have a situation that requires a Power App with a supporting Power Automate flow to enable the necessary functionality.

 

The Power App is needed each year (just after a new fiscal year has started) and, after 3 months the app is not needed until the next fiscal year.  After the 3-month window, our Power Automate flows automatically turn off (after 30 days without use).

 

The use case is - we would like to display (to customers) a 'service not currently available - contact your admin' message in Power Apps if a supporting flow is turned off.  So, if (at the start of a fiscal year) someone runs the Power App for the first time (in months), can we identify if a supporting flow is turned off or on?  If so, then if/when it's turned on we can allow data collection.  And when it's turned off we can display 'service not available' message.

    Yes, you can use the PowerAutomateManagement connector in your app to get this information.

    From the flow, you can get its state - Started or Stopped.

    You can even start or stop the flow with that connector.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
